BLG1952 starts with the following John. Although we understand that it is accepted that John's father was called Richard, a contributor (JT, 25.02.07) has kindly warned us that the identification of Richard's wife (made in a web site on the Webb family) is "a very substantial claim" which has eluded others. The Webb web site refers to a book "William Shakespeare: A Biography" by A.L. Rowse (1963), a renowned Shakespearean scholar and biographer, as a source for some of its data but JT has advised us that this connection is not given in that book. We hope to review this further in due course.

(1) BE1883 (St. Philibert) partly supports the following, having apparently earlier followed a different line of the family.
(2) Sir Hugh's wife Alice is reported by VCH (Berkshire, vol 4, Eaton Hastings) to have acquired Eaton Hastings whilst he was overseas.

m. Alice

(1)

Sir John de St. Philibert of Eaton Hastings, etc., Mayor of Bordeaux (d before 12.02.1332/3)

TCP identifies Sir John's wife only as Ada (d 1349). Thanks to a contributor (DR, 11.06.09) for suggesting that she was Ada Botetourt and for identifying their daughter Maud as wife of Warin Trussell.

TCP is not clear which wife was mother of John's children but, as the marriage to Joan de Ufford was arranged when they were young children and as Joan is not mentioned by BE1883 (Ufford), it is assumed that she died before the marriage was consummated.
